Samsung delivers rare chance to use term “suction power”
Samsung has launched some new vacuum cleaners. It has opted not to use a cliched housewife model, but has instead given the scene a nice 60s “vibe”. The good old 1960s. No internet, but the women didn’t complain about being the only ones that ever clean up the crumbs.
Frankly, she’d be best off getting down on her hands and knees with a cloth to clean that laminate. That would also make an even more appealing shoot.
Nice chairs. Nice shelves. Can’t say much else as we’ve already used today’s sexism allowance in the opening paragraph.
The later photos in this series show her unsuccessfully trying to insert it. It was a very brave attempt, though.
THE WORDS:
Samsung launches 3 types of cordless stick vacuum cleaner and 5 types of handy cleaner on Jun. 25th. With Samsung’s twin chamber technology, the new cordless vacuum cleaners produce a stronger suction power.The stick type has an auto shutter function that gives an excellent edge cleaning by automatically sensing edges and corners.
On top of that, the newest cordless vacuum cleaner ensures clean exhaust air, thanks to the adoption of HEPA filter system.

Is there a raft of photos from the kitchen scene that you are keeping from us? I think we should be old.

Bah, and I only just bought a new vacuum cleaner 2 days ago…It’s very good, though, would recommend it.
Has she got a wall of 5-bar electric fires just out of shot btw? That glow can’t be good for her, surely?

…old enough to remember the good old days of servile domesticity ? Ah, those were the days!
Looks like they went mad with the Philips mood light system

She seems somewhat jaundiced.
Not that I’m complaining.

There’s no such thing as suction, there’ only pressure operating in the other direction. It’s not suction that pulls dirt into the vacuum cleaner, it’s the room pressure that pushes it in. So all the above is bollocks.
Would, would, would, would, would, would, would, would and would anyway.

In the last photo she appears to be sitting in a pool of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. So probably would.
Cheesy is good.

why the bare feet? “Not that I am complaining.” It seems an odd touch. What is so horribly wrong with this woman that she doesn’t wear shoes?
Something seems off.

oooOOOooooh! Checkout Badben the scientist! /handbag
Maybe the bare feet thing’s to show what great cleaners they are, she can walk around barefoot without worrying about getting broken glass, paperclips or bits of lego stuck in the soles of her feet.
Ah, to be able to walk round the house barefoot, I barely remember those days now.

Sorry, this has been bugging me for days:
“Leave it safely its expensive box in the shop.”

You could’ve said something a bit sooner.
July 3rd, 2010 on 2:40 pm
I would’ve but I thought I’d give someone else a go for once.

I’ve been on holiday and submitting corrections wasn’t top of my agenda. The holiday now over, submitting corrections has sadly risen to the top of my agenda.

Holiday? Bourgeois!
(Haven’t been able to afford a holiday for years)

Er… “There’s no such thing as suction because I can describe the phenomenon without using the word”? Do you mean like there’s no such thing as forward as it’s just reverse going backwards? Double-plus good work there Badben.

Well, if this was some other place I’d apologise for being a nerd. There’s no phenomenon of suction I’m afraid. At least not in the vacuum cleaner sense, or in the ‘sucked out of a plane through a broken window’ sense. Fluids can’t pull anything, they can only push.
There’s sucking with a straw or a mouth, it seems different but it’s not. When you ‘suck’ on a staw the air pressure in the room pushes fluid through the straw into the area of low pressure that you’ve created in your mouth. The physics of sucking… body parts, however, is very complicated and I’m not sure I can describe it very rigorously. However, it’s still all about pressure pushing. I accept it doesn’t necessarily feel like it.
But you know, there’s a lot of nonsense talked about non-existent suction. Woolly thinking! It’s for the couldn’t-care-less normals who like Eastenders and X Factor! Don’t be having any of it!

I’m sold on that. Nice.

I’m sure I’ve seen videos of this on the internet Badben, have you tried checking there?
July 6th, 2010 on 8:39 pm
Arsebiscuits. Would sworn I’d closed that tag. Where’s the Bearbeiten link when you ned it, eh?
July 6th, 2010 on 8:40 pm
‘need’.
Not ned. Obviously.
I’m going now before I break something.
July 7th, 2010 on 9:04 am
Only have internet at work. Haven’t checked

Pics too yellow. Taken with iPhone 4?

What are you talking about badben? If people are defining sucking as pulling with a fluid then I’ll hand it to you. But they’re not, are they? Sucking is probably best defined as creating a localised region of low pressure. This results in a force acting on nearby objects which draws/pushes (no bloody difference) them towards the low pressure region. It’s as real as all the other things you can describe in more than one way.

What?
July 12th, 2010 on 1:51 pm
I require and request a far more convincing argument that there’s no such thing as suction. Saying that there’s only “pressure operating in the other direction” doesn’t cut it for me – just tells that what I consider to be suction can be described another way, much like everything else in the world.
I’ll play my role by standing behind and slightly to the side of Super-Diddly-Duper 2000, saying “yeah!”.
Whoever thought this would be the place for such discussions (no answer required)?

‘Sucking’ and ‘suction are not the same. One is a thing you do with your mouth and has an accepted definition, I’m not arguing with that. The other is a pseudo scientific term in widespread use by people and industrys alike, however just because it’s widesread doesn’t mean it’s right.
For instance, more people would probably be offended if I stated, for the record, that Astrology is total and utter wank of the highest order. However, just because lots of people think astrology is great and don’t like it described as ‘wank’ doesn’t mean, importantly, that it’s not wank.
Suction and astrology (and maybe wank) are similar from this perspective. Look you?
